Side-mounted front license plate

Has anyone used the stock mount for the front license plate and mounted it on the side? I've been brainstorming ideas and it seems like the best option thus far. Under-the-lip mounts don't suit me.

IMO the same height would look horrible. i've seen it off to the right and mounted with a hideaway bracket and it flips up.

I had a hideaway plate but want a more sturdy design. Ill be doing a lot of highway driving to/from college. Want it to be sturdy. I want peace of mind when driving back through illinois when I pass state troopers.
